Professional Vacuum Sealer
The Vacuum Sealer will revolutionize the way you buy and store food. Because vacuum
packaging works to eliminate freezer burn and slow food spoilage, you are now able to take
advantage of buying food in bulk without the threat of wasting food.
Vacuum packaging with the Vacuum Sealer removes up to 90% of the air from the package.
This will help keep food fresher up to 5 times longer than under normal circumstances. Dry
foods like pasta, cereals and flour will stay fresh from start to finish. Plus vacuum packaging
prevents weevils and other insects from infesting dry goods. Package only the freshest foods
possible.
However, please keep in mind that not all foods benefit from vacuum packaging. Never
vacuum package garlic or fungi like mushrooms. A dangerous chemical reaction takes
place when air is removed, causing these foods to be dangerous if ingested. Vegetables
should be blanched before packaging to kill any enzymes that may cause the release of
gases (out-gassing) when vacuumed.
